The empirical formula of CBr2 has a molar mass of 515.46 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of this compound

C3Br6

Explanation:

C= (1 X 12.011) = 12.011

Br= (2 X 79.904)= 159.808

159.808+12.011 = 171.819

515.46 divided by 171.819 = 3.00

so you mulitpy CBr2 by 3 which gives you C3Br6

b is the correct

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
